How to open NZ file?
An often recurring problem with NanoZip Compressed Archive is that NZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NZ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install NanoZip
The first step is to check if the computer has the NanoZip program installed. To do this, enter the name NanoZip into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NZ with NanoZip. Below is a list of programs that support the file NZ.
Programs to open NZ file
Remember to download programs supporting NZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NanoZip with NZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NZ file still does not use the NanoZip program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NZ file with the NanoZip application.
Step 3. Update NanoZip to the latest version
If, however, after binding NanoZip with NanoZip Compressed Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sami Runsas page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NZ file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Sami Runsas, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NZ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the NZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NZ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
